Name changes are common in basketball. One of the more notable changes in recent memory is Ron Artest changing his name to Metta World Peace. This one, however, isn’t as eyebrow-raising as World Peace’s was.
It’s great that Mac is making the change, one that he considered during college but decided to hold off on to not confuse NBA scouts.
The name change will confuse some NBA fans at first. A quick google search will confuse Sheldon Mac with Shelvin Mack. Shelvin Mack is currently playing for the Utah Jazz. So while this isn’t ideal for Mac’s brand, whatever that means, don’t get these two names confused.
